Love me some pooches... I've covered one too :-) Good job, enjoyed the Hammond.

I remember the band 3 Dog Night.... I was never a big fan of them and as a result, unfortunately,  only remember the radio hits they did.
 
However, your cover of this tune is excellent.  Everything is in place like it needs to be. Musicianship is top notch. 
 
One thing that really used to bug me as a musician back in the day was the lack of low end on many of the band's music back in the day. Not all, but some.  You could hear the bass but couldn't really feel it. Not on their studio work. You pointed this out when referring to the B3 in the original.
 
Yes, very nice work indeed.

so cool.
 
3 dog night is one of my alltime favorites,
especially the first 6 albums, and naturally was a favorite.
 
i always dug that they had a black drummer, and to this day, still one of my favorite drummers.
in my young young brain, i thought this made them a superior band, having a black drummer.
LOL

Hey, i grew up in jackson mississippi, surrounded by rank racism, and the Klan, and i just loved this band more because of it.
 
and ended up spending 5 years on the road with a black bass player and a puerto rican drummer with a giant afro!
LOL again.......
 
all this stupid story, ties into digging 3 dog night, and back to your song:
 
 
you caught the element of the mix, which was the biggest thing about this.......
it was one of their first self-written songs, an instrumental, and they managed to get it on the album DESPITE the record company!! quite a coup d'état
 
so, your mix is true to the original mix, with a lot of studio reverb...
and the spring on keys, it's very authentic.
maybe the omnisphere is giving it that overall polished 70's vibe, 
whatever it is, it's nice.
 
 
folks might notice the heavy fuzz guitar thru some of the sections....
recorded in 1970 originally, that fuzz was integral to making the band sound heavier....
and you nailed that tone.
nice job.
nice covering mike allsup's guitar parts too, he was a greatly undersung player,

if you did those drums by hand, wow, that was a labor of love.
 

batsbrew
 
and i love, that you did some of your own thing in there,
what you added of original stuff, fits completely in with everything else..
someone that doesn't know that song backwards and forwards like i do, would never know the difference, it blends so smoothly.
 
 
thanks for a trip back to 1970, that was bad @ss.

Wow Dan! What an amazing job on this song! Love the sound of that vb3. Those leads sounded great too. Very good interplay between the left and right channel. You can tell that you spent some time on this. It paid off. I can't think of one single critique. It was great. Thank you for posting this!

Good job Dan all that has been said I agree with. I too remember three dog night.
 
Thanks for sharing.

Got to admit they don't make music like they use to, like listening to the older music myself or stuff that is similar in design. This was quite brilliant.

Excellent work Dan! I'm listening to the original now. I think I like yours better. I never liked the sound of fuzz pedals. They just grate on me.
 
The 70s were a great time for music. What a great example of the best of what the 70s had to offer.
 
Thanks for sharing this. Nice!!!
